See below about student Anthony Dean completing his second clinical:

I’m very grateful to have completed my second 8-week clinical rotation at Trinity Physical Therapy with Dr. Ronald P. White. This experience gave me the opportunity to continue growing as a student clinician and gain more confidence in my abilities.

I want to sincerely thank Dr. White for the patience, guidance and expertise he showed me throughout these past 8 weeks. I learned a tremendous amount from him every day and gained valuable experience in manual therapy, examination skills, clinical reasoning and patient interaction that has expanded my orthopedic knowledge tremendously. Being in an environment that challenged me while also supporting my growth made a huge impact on me both professionally and personally.

I’m very appreciative of everyone at Trinity Physical Therapy for welcoming me and allowing me to be part of the team. This clinical experience strengthened my passion for physical therapy and motivated me even more as I continue working toward becoming a physical therapist.

Additionally, Dr. Joe Lorenzetti presented two research posters, contributing to the strong faculty presence and mentorship that support student success.
